Donald Trump has made his strongest comments yet against NATO just as Starmer prepares to give an address from Downing Street. The President has spoken to the Telegraph in another round of interviews before he addresses the nation at 2 a.m. BST…
Asked if the US’ membership of NATO would be reconsidered, he said: “Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration… I was never swayed by Nato. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way.”
Trump said he is aggrieved by allied refusal to enter the Strait of Hormuz: “We’ve been there automatically, including Ukraine. Ukraine wasn’t our problem. It was a test, and we were there for them, and we would always have been there for them. They weren’t there for us.”
He attacked Starmer personally: “You don’t even have a navy. You’re too old and had aircraft carriers that didn’t work… I’m not going to tell [Starmer] what to do. He can do whatever he wants. It doesn’t matter. All Starmer wants is costly windmills that are driving your energy prices through the roof.”
